[Global Backbone] Level3 network outage

Our teams have been alerted that Level3 is currently experiencing issues, resulting in higher latencies and traffic blackholes.
Issue has been escalated to our Network team, we are working on a workaround to enhance transit normally going through Level3.

Status will be updated as soon as we have additional details.

===================

There appears to be a global consensus from large transit providers to workaround the issue on their side and they are now removing Level3 from their peering, we should expect improvements in connectivity (outside of Level3's reach at least).

We have done what we can to clear our way from Level3 misbehavior but, as their network is not processing BGP updates, it is getting very hard to workaround their global failure.
We are monitoring the situation closely and will keep working on what we can, waiting for Level3 to get it fixed on their end.

Level3 has been moved out of our transit mix while it is still very unstable.
However, you may still experience side effects globally with other providers, as it may result with saturations on other transits.

Our network team acknowledged the issue, working on a temporary solution.
